据路透社迪拜报道，阿拉伯联合酋长国石油天然气投资公司（BPGIC）上周五表示，他们已经将一份合同授予西班牙SENER工程集团，在阿联酋富查伊拉港建造一座新的炼油厂。

该工厂将生产符合新的国际法律限制运输燃料中硫含量的船用燃料。

该公司表示，计划中25万桶/日的炼油厂的第一阶段将于2020年第一季度完工。

国际海事组织 (IMO) 的新规定将要求船只从2020年开始使用硫含量低于0.5%的燃料，而目前的比例为3.5%。

今年早些时候，BPGIC与总部位于美国的十二海投资有限公司（BROGU.O）合并后，在纳斯达克股票交易所上市。

此举是总部位于阿联酋的BPGIC扩张战略的一部分。

BPGIC成立于2013年，是富查伊拉最大的仓储资产持有者之一。

位于霍尔木兹海峡外的富查伊拉是世界上最大的加油枢纽之一。

UAE’s Brooge Petroleum awards refinery construction deal to Spain’s SENER

The United Arab Emirates’ Brooge Petroleum and Gas Investment Co (BPGIC) said on Friday that it had awarded a contract to Spain’s SENER engineering group to build a new oil refinery in Fujairah.

The plant will produce bunker fuel that complies with new international laws capping sulphur content in shipping fuels.

The first phase of the planned 250,000 barrel per day (bpd) refinery will be completed in the first quarter of 2020, the company has said.

New regulations from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will require ships to use fuels with a sulphur content below 0.5% beginning in 2020. Current shipping fuel is much dirtier, with a higher sulphur content.

Earlier this year, BPGIC listed its shares on the Nasdaq stock exchange after merging with U.S.-based firm Twelve Seas Investment Co (BROGU.O).

The move was part of the UAE-based oil storage company’s expansion strategy.

BPGIC, which was set up in 2013, is one of the largest holders of storage assets in Fujairah.

Fujairah, located just outside the Strait of Hormuz, is among the world’s largest bunkering hubs.
